PUBLIC NOTICE

On Thursday, April 24, 2008, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing on California’s water boards. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Room 437 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.

This is the second of two planned hearings as part of the Commission’s review of the governance structure surrounding water in California, including the State Water Resources Control Board and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The Commission is reviewing the state’s water boards to identify reforms that will improve public outcomes through the boards’ interactions around California’s water quality needs. This hearing will provide perspectives from the regulated community, including representatives of the United States Navy, agriculture, environmental groups, local government and business. A complete agenda is on the reverse.

There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. The Commission also encourages written comments. A business meeting will follow the hearing.
